In our latest Community Spotlight, we caught up with collector, creator, and brand owner antskicks about his journey into fashion, a long-standing affinity for the Air Max 90, and the latest from his clothing line, Meutantt.
£134.99
What originally began with selling trainers to make a bit of extra money back in uni, Ants is quickly becoming one of the UK's leading voices on all things sneakers and streetwear.
"I just wanted to sell shoes to make a bit of money. I started posting videos about styling and reviewing.
"I've been posting videos near enough every single day for years. I picked a passion, a hobby, something I love and just kept going at it.
“The more you grow and evolve and keep going, you get to the top…it’s inevitable.”
You can do anything in 90s, I promise you.
If you follow antskicks, you'll be familiar with his love for Air Max, particularly the AM90.
"In Year 7, I saw everyone having different Air Max, specifically the 90s. I remember I went home and was like, 'Mum, I need the 90s...' You can do anything in the 90s, I promise you; you can genuinely do anything."
"Football every lunch break, whack it top bins."
There's now also the small matter of his own apparel brand, Meutantt, which leans into simplistic designs and the golden era of Xbox 360 for its aesthetics. Speaking of what sparked the idea of setting that up, Ants told us:
“I’ve always liked making things, and when I went on that first tour, we made T-shirts and they fully sold out…and I was like, oh, people actually want to buy what I can make.
"From then on, I was like… 'why not?’
And what about keeping those creative juices flowing? It's a pretty simple concept on that front...
“Walk, talk, play, watch…just do stuff!”
